Molecular Electrostatic Potential and Noncovalent Interactions in Derivatives of Group 8 Elements

This communication reports experimental and theoretical evidences of ?-hole interactions in adducts between nitrogen or oxygen nucleophiles tetroxides osmium other group 8 elements. Cocrystals pyridine N-oxide derivatives tetroxide are characterized through various techniques rationalized as using DFT calculations several computational tools. We propose the term “osme bond” (OmB, Om=Fe, Ru, Os, (Hs)) for naming noncovalent wherein elements have role electrophile. The word osme is transcription ????, ancient Greek smell that was used to name heaviest element relation smoky odor its tetroxide.
